Circular hike "Old Tambach Dam", Tambach-D., Thuringian Forest

This popular route starts at the sports field. We walk a little downhill and at the crossroads keep left. The Wagenstädter Bridge offers a view of the Old Tambach Dam, Thuringia's oldest drinking water dam, as well as the Apfelstädt valley. We continue left and turn into the Mittelwasser valley. After a short time we reach the transfer tunnel of the Schmalwasser dam and shortly after the ascent "Muhalter Delle." At the Mittelwasser pond (raft pond laid out in the 16th century), you cross the pond dam toward the Stone Gate or take a short break at the Köhlerhütte. The Stone Gate is a rock gate over a man’s height, made of conglomerate rock, which was formed by erosion. After a short ascent, we reach a wide path - the Börnchens path. We keep left and after approx. 4.5 km reach the dam of the reservoir. Via Kirchstraße and Fuchsberg, we return to the starting point.
